                           CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

There is no doubt that 2005 has been a demanding year for the group. The
financial results are not a fair reflection of the level of effort and progress
made by the Company. We have indeed advanced in the last year and I am confident
that this progress will be represented through improved financial performance in
2006.

We are sensitive to market activity levels and consequently recorded a quiet
second quarter in 2005. We were also involved with investigating a significant
acquisition opportunity during the first quarter of 2005. Although we are
anxious to find firms suitable for consolidation, by nature we are a
conservatively run company. A number of potential issues were uncovered during
the due diligence process, which persuaded us that the potential target was not
suitable for consolidation into the group. The aborted acquisition resulted in
exceptional costs although the Directors of the Company believe that it is
preferable to incur these costs through necessary due diligence than to make an
inappropriate purchase. Falling interest rates have adversely materially
affected our financial performance as well.

Despite these factors, the operating subsidiary, Jarvis Investment Management
plc again improved its operating profit by 2.6% compared to the same period in
2005. This was counteracted by higher group costs recorded in Jarvis Securities,
which prevented this upturn flowing into the consolidated results. We have
incurred costs in developing and improving the system and legal framework for
our outsourced services but have not seen the full benefit of these new
contracts flowing through to the financial results. The majority of our Model B
contracts will be running for their first full year in 2006 without the
inevitable front-loaded costs to our operation. Our offices have also been
extended to provide approximately one third more space, giving us plenty of room
to expand without having the disruption and expense of moving premises.

Jarvis is a business that prides itself on efficiency and quality of service. We
have been striving very hard to differentiate ourselves from other volume
execution-only brokers through our personal approach. With almost 35,000
clients, maintaining this differentiation in quality can be difficult. I am
pleased, however, to say that we have achieved this and have been recognised
accordingly. In October 2005, Jarvis Investment Management plc won the
Investor's Chronicle Award for Best Self-Select ISA Provider 2005 from a public
vote. This is a truly exciting result considering the size and market presence
of our major competitors.

There is no doubt that the group will face further challenges during 2006
although there are more opportunities available to the group than for some time.
Levels of dealing volumes and new accounts opened are sharply higher so far this
year for our existing products. A number of institutions looking to outsource
financial administration processes have approached us and we have been
vigorously promoting co-branded offerings to other organisations with an
enthusiastic early reception. Jarvis Investment Management plc plans to launch a
new web-based dealing service at a very competitive commission that the Company
expects to garner a significant amount of interest.

In addition, early stage talks with several potential targets or partners have
either begun or recommenced recently and we believe that there are a number of
opportunities to combine businesses in our sector to cut costs and improve
profits and service. I shall, of course, report any developments of this nature
in more detail in due course.

I appreciate that our first year on AIM has not shown the growth in our share
price that the directors were hoping to achieve for our existing shareholders.
We have purchased a number of shares in the market when the price has fallen to
levels that your Board believed undervalued the business and its current
prospects. The best route to increasing shareholder value in my opinion is to
maintain our distinctive quality while improving profits. This will be entirely
the focus of the Board in 2006 and the early indications for an improved
performance are promising.

Nominees Limited, Galleon Nominees Limited and Dudley Road Nominees Limited made
up to 31 December 2005. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated on
consolidation and all sales and profit figures relate to external transactions
only. No profit and loss account is presented for Jarvis Securities plc as
provided by S230(3) of the Companies Act 1985.
(d) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the lives of
the assets at the following rates:
     Website - 33% on cost
     Leasehold improvements - 33% on cost
     Motor vehicles - 15% on cost
     Office equipment - 20% on cost
     Software developments - 33% on cost
(e) Intangible fixed assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration given over
the aggregate fair values of the separable net assets. Goodwill is amortised
over 20 years on a straight-line basis, subject to annual impairment reviews as
required. Other intangible assets are capitalised at their market value on
acquisition and are amortised on the same basis.
(f) Deferred taxation
Provision is made in full for all taxation deferred in respect of timing
differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date,
except for gains on disposal of fixed assets which will be rolled over into
replacement assets. No provision is made for taxation on permanent differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not
that they will be recovered.
(g) Segmental reporting
There are no significant segments for reporting purposes as required by

transactions on behalf of clients are included in debtors, creditors and cash at
bank.
(j) Operating leases and finance leases
Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over
the lease term in arriving at the operating profit. Where the company has
entered into finance leases, the obligations to the lessor are shown as part of
borrowings and the rights in the corresponding assets are treated in the same
way as owned fixed assets. Leases are regarded as finance leases where their
terms transfer to the lessee substantially all the benefits and burdens of
ownership other than right to legal title.
(k) Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost and current asset investments are
stated at current market valuations.
(l) Cashflow statement
Cash movements relating to stockbroking balances derived from client trading are
excluded from the cashflow statement on the basis that these amounts do not form
part of the cashflow position of the group.
